THE WANO CO., Warren, Pa. BRIGHTER PROSPECTS. President Mitchell Issues an Important Statement. Practically Admits That the Anthracite Coal Strike Will K el When All Iho Operator Po.t Notices of 10 1'cr Cent Increase anil Abolition or (he Gliding fcale. SHAMOKIN. Ta., Oct. 23. For the first time since the anthracite ceal itrlke began a public appeal fur aid was made here yesterday by a commit tee calling on the business men and Bollectlng money and provisions for Impoverished families of strikers. HAZLETONj Oct. 23. President Mitchell, In un Interview last night, practically admitted that the anthra cite coal miners' strike would end ns soon ns all the operators posted a no tice guaranteeing the payment of a 10 per cent advance In wages until April 1. President Mitchell said: "The pros pect of an early settlement of the coal srUkc Is becoming brighter. Some of the operators have not yet posted no tices signifying their willingness to fall In line cither with the Rollins com pany or with the proposition made by the Lehigh Valley company In the Ha ileton region. If all of them notify their employes by posting notices or otherwise that on actual advance of 10 per cent will be paid each mine em ploye and guarantee Its continuance until April 1, together with the aboli tion of the sliding scale, I believe that the terms would be accepted by the mine workers. "The reduction In powder from $2.75 to $1.30' has fconfused the miners, but some of the o;erators have so fully ex plained how contract miners could re celvo the full advance of 10 per cent as well as all other employes thut I be lieve thlw obstacle can be overcome." Although as President Mitchell says, the outlook for an early Eettlement of the strike Is bright, It Is difficult to make a prediction as to when the end will come. Some of the coal compa nies are showing a disposition not to Issue a second notice guaranteeing the payment of the 10 per cent Increase In wages until April. Among these are the Delaware, Lackawanna and West ern and the Delaware and Hudson, the officials of which companies are report ed to have declined to Issue a Pupplo ment.al notice. The other leaders, how ever, hope that the companies will in some way make known that they will guarantee the payment of the advance until April 1. As soon as all the notices guaran teeing the payment of the advance un til April 1 are posted President Mitchell will call a meeting of the national ex ecutive board, at which It la believed the strike will be declared off. The In recti labor demons! ration ever held In this city took place yesterday, when nearly 7,000 miners paraded the streets. In a carriage at their head rode President Mitchell, who received an enthusiastic 'ovation all along the line of march. Thousands of miners accompanied by their families came to the city from every mining town In the region to view the parade. WASHERIES REMAIN OPEN. To Attempt to Cloffe Thoni Might Cause Dluiriler unit Tftirt Rtrlkrra' Caurc, SCUAXTON, Pa., Oct. 22. A meeting of the presidents of the Seranton local unions of the United Mine Workers was held yesterday to discuss the advis ability of taking aggressive steps to wards closing, up the washerles. After carefully canvasdlng the situation it was decided to let the matter rest for a while. i uliSSB The fact Is that the end of the strike Is generally believed to bo at hand, Impelled the meeting to refrain from making this move which is generally conceded would be attended with the possibility of disorder and which would have a tendency to (Jj more harm to the cause than the operation of the washerles. The general situation was also dis cussed and one of the presidents at the conclusion of the meeting stated that In his Judgment the men would be perfectly satisfied to acept the 10 per cent ofler with the powder clause Included. Organizer Fred Dileher does not talit this way, however. He says the con vention demanded a straight 10 per cent advance with the powder ques tion left for future adjustment and that until this demand i3 complied with to the very letter, the officers have no authority to call off the strike.

NEW 'POSTAL SERVICE. Railway Mail Car oo V. L. & W. netween Iluflalo and New York City. NEW YORK, Oct. 23. Superintend ent W. J. Rradley of the railwal mail service here announces a new postal eervlce between New York and Buf falo by the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western line. This went Into effect last night on a train leaving New York at midnight and due at Buffalo at 12:45 p. m. today. The return service left at 10:30 o'clock this morning. This eer vice will be performed every day, in rluding Sunday. The night postal trains for Buffalo now leave New York at 6:10 p. m. on the Lehigh Valley; at 9:15 p. m. on the New York Central, and at 9:15 p. m. on the Erie.

MANIACS BREAK LOOSE. Seven Kicnpo During fiovolt at the Matteawnn Innaiie Asyluiu. POUGHKEEFSIE, Oct. 22. There was ft revolt at the Matteawan state hospital for the criminal insane at half past G o'clock last night when six or eight keepers were assaulted and overpowered by about 20 insane pat ients. Some of the patients escaped and seven are still at large. One or two of the keepers are badly bruised as a result of the assault. The revolt, It Is thought, was caused directly by the cramped quarters at the hospital. Dr. Henry E. Allison, medical superintendent of the institu tion, said last nlsht: "We are very much overcrowded here and have been for a long time. We have found it absolutely necessary to compel some 200 or more patients to sleep on blank ets on the floor In one of the corridors. Our quarters are so Inadequate that we have to send some of the attendants and keepers to Matteawan and Fish kill to sleep during the night because we have no room for them. The seven patients who escaped are of course dangerous patients, as, all of our pa tients are, but I do not think that they will commit any depredations while at large. They will naturally run to some vacant buildings or Into the woods to prevent being captured." SLEPT WITH A CORPSE.

At the conclusion of tho meeting II was stated that the agreement between England and Germany as to their' fu ture policy In China, was specially sat isfactory 'to this government, probably as it was recognition of the principles laid down In the Hay note of July 3 re garding the open door in China and the maintenance of the Integrity of the empire. UNITED STATES ASSENTS. Provisions of AnKlo-Gcrman Agreenteul Concnrred In by rtlate Department. WASHINGTON, Oct. 23. The state department yesterday made public the correspondence which has taken place between Itself and the French govern ment since the original French note respecting China, which laid down the terms suggested by France as a basis of negotiation for a settlement. This last correspondence consists of twe notes exchanged between Secretary Hay and M. Thlebaut last week, put ting In formal shape a certain verbal statement of Importance respecting the negotiations begun. An interer-tlng and important fea ture of the United SMtc3 note Is th suggestion that the powers bind themeelves npaln to preserve Chinese territorial Integrity, and to maintain the "open door" exactly the objects aimed at in the British-German agree- 'ment or alliance which was made pub lic last Week. While this note by Secretary Hay bears date of Oct. 1! and the British German agreement Is assigned the date of Oct. 16, the action of this govern ment was taken In Ignorance of the agreement and it Is entirely possible that It may have been the means ol bringing about a disclosure of Its pur pose. Our suggestion indicates a fa vorable response by the United States government to the Invitation to Join with Great Britain and Germany in the objects specified. LEAD PENCL IN HIS EYE.
